5 SOLUTIONS TO CODIFICATION EXERCISES CE7-1 From the Master Glossary (a) Consistent with common usage, cash includes not only currency on hand but demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. Cash also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the customer may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. All charges and credits to those accounts are cash receipts or payments to both the entity owning the account and the bank holding it. For example, a bank s granting of a loan by crediting the proceeds to a customer s demand deposit account is a cash payment by the bank and a cash receipt of the customer when the entry is made. (b) Securitization is the process by which financial assets are transformed into securities. (c) Recourse is the right of a transferee of receivables to receive payment from the transferor of those receivables for any of the following: a. Failure of debtors to pay when due b. The effects of prepayments c. Adjustments resulting from defects in the eligibility of the transferred receivables. CE7-2 According to FASB ASC (Accruals of Loss Contingencies Do Not Provide Financial Protection) 05 8 Accrual of a loss related to a contingency does not create or set aside funds to lessen the possible financial impact of a loss. Confusion exists between accounting accruals (sometimes referred to as accounting reserves) and the reserving or setting aside of specific assets to be used for a particular purpose or contingency. Accounting accruals are simply a method of allocating costs among accounting periods and have no effect on an entity s cash flow. Those accruals in no way protect the assets available to replace or repair uninsured property that may be lost or damaged, or to satisfy claims that are not covered by insurance, or, in the case of insurance entities, to satisfy the claims of insured parties. Accrual, in and of itself, proves no financial protection that is not available in the absence of accrual An entity may choose to maintain or have access to sufficient liquid assets to replace or repair lost or damaged property or to pay claims in case a loss occurs. Alternatively, it may transfer the risk to others by purchasing insurance. The accounting standards set forth in this Subtopic do not affect the fundamental business economics of that decision. That is a financial decision, and if an entity s management decides to do neither, the presence or absence of an accrued credit balance on the balance sheet will have no effect on the consequences of that decision. Insurance or reinsurance reduces or eliminates risks and the inherent earnings fluctuations that accompany risks. Unlike insurance and reinsurance, the use of accounting reserves does not reduce or eliminate risk. The use of accounting reserves is not an alternative to insurance and reinsurance in protecting against risk. Earnings fluctuations are inherent in risk retention, and they are reported as they occur. Copyright 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

6 CE7-3 According to FASB ASC (Overview and Background) > Types of Transfers 05 6 Transfers of financial assets take many forms. This guidance provides an overview of the following types of transfers discussed in this Topic: a. Securitizations b. Factoring c. Transfers of receivables with recourse d. Securities lending transactions e. Repurchase agreements f. Loan participations g. Banker s acceptances >> Factoring Factoring arrangements are a means of discounting accounts receivable on a nonrecourse, notification basis. Accounts receivable are sold outright, usually to a transferee (the factor) that assumes the full risk of collection, without recourse to the transferor in the event of a loss. Debtors are directed to send payments to the transferee. >> Transfers of Receivables with Recourse In a transfer of receivables with recourse, the transferor provides the transferee with full or limited recourse. The transferor is obligated under the terms of the recourse provision to make payments to the transferee or to repurchase receivables sold under certain circumstances, typically for defaults up to a specified percentage. >> Securities Lending Transactions Securities lending transactions are initiated by broker-dealers and other financial institutions that need specific securities to cover a short sale or a customer s failure to deliver securities sold. Securities custodians or other agents commonly carry out securities lending activities on behalf of clients. >> Repurchase Agreements Government securities dealers, banks, other financial institutions, and corporate investors commonly use repurchase agreements to obtain or use short-term funds. Under those agreements, the transferor (repo party) transfers a security to a transferee (repo counterparty or reverse party) in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to reacquire that security at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated interest factor. Instead of cash, other securities or letters of credit sometimes are exchanged. Some repurchase agreements call for repurchase of securities that need not be identical to the securities transferred. >> Loan Participations In certain industries, a typical customer s borrowing needs often exceed its bank s legal lending limits. To accommodate the customer, the bank may participate the loan to other banks (that is, transfer under a participation agreement a portion of the customer s loan to one or more participating banks). 7-6 Copyright 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Kieso, Intermediate Accounting, 13/e, Solutions Manual (For Instructor Use Only)

7 CE7-3 (Continued) >> Banker s Acceptances Banker s acceptances provide a way for a bank to finance a customer s purchase of goods from a vendor for periods usually not exceeding six months. Under an agreement between the bank, the customer, and the vendor, the bank agrees to pay the customer s liability to the vendor upon presentation of specified documents that provide evidence of delivery and acceptance of the purchased goods. The principal document is a draft or bill of exchange drawn by the customer that the bank stamps to signify its acceptance of the liability to make payment on the draft on its due date. CE7-4 According to FASB ASC > Right of Setoff Criteria 45-1 A right of setoff exists when all of the following conditions are met: a. Each of two parties owes the other determinable amounts. b. The reporting party has the right to set off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party. c. The reporting party intends to set off. d. The right of setoff is enforceable at law A debtor having a valid right of setoff may offset the related asset and liability and report the net amount If the parties meet the criteria specified in paragraph , specifying currency or interest rate requirements is unnecessary. However, if maturities differ, only the party with the nearer maturity could offset because the party with the longer term maturity must settle in the manner that the other party selects at the earlier maturity date If a party does not intend to set off even though the ability to set off exists, an offsetting presentation in the statement of financial position is not representationally faithful Acknowledgment of the intent of set off by the reporting party and, if applicable, demonstration of the execution of the setoff in similar situations meet the criterion of intent.

8 ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. Cash normally consists of coins and currency on hand, bank deposits, and various kinds of orders for cash such as bank checks, money orders, travelers checks, demand bills of exchange, bank drafts, and cashiers checks. Balances on deposit in banks which are subject to immediate withdrawal are properly included in cash. Money market funds that provide checking account privileges may be classified as cash. There is some question as to whether deposits not subject to immediate withdrawal are properly included in cash or whether they should be set out separately. Savings accounts, time certificates of deposit, and time deposits fall in this latter category. Unless restrictions on these kinds of deposits are such that they cannot be converted (withdrawn) within one year or the operating cycle of the entity, whichever is longer, they are properly classified as current assets. At the same time, they may well be presented separately from other cash and the restrictions as to convertibility reported. 2. (a) Cash (h) Investments, possibly other assets. (b) Trading securities. (i) Cash. (c) Temporary investments. (j) Trading securities. (d) Accounts receivable. (k) Cash. (e) Accounts receivable, a loss if uncollectible. (l) Cash. (f) Other assets if not expendable, cash if ex- (m) Postage expense, or prepaid expendable for goods and services in the for- pense, or office supplies inventory. eign country. (n) Receivable from employee if the (g) Receivable if collection expected within one company is to be reimbursed; year; otherwise, other asset. otherwise, prepaid expense. 3. A compensating balance is that portion of any cash deposit maintained by an enterprise which constitutes support for existing borrowing arrangements with a lending institution. A compensating balance representing a legally restricted deposit held against short-term borrowing arrangements should be stated separately among the cash and cash-equivalent items. A restricted deposit held as a compensating balance against long-term borrowing arrangements should be separately classified as a noncurrent asset in either the investments or other assets section. 4. Restricted cash for debt redemption would be reported in the long-term asset section, probably in the investments section. Another alternative is the other assets section. Given that the debt is long term, the restricted cash should also be reported as long term. 5. The seller normally uses trade discounts to avoid frequent changes in its catalogs, to quote different prices for different quantities purchased, and to hide the true invoice price from competitors. Trade discounts are not recorded in the accounts because the price finally quoted is generally an accurate statement of the fair market value of the product on that date. In addition, no subsequent changes can occur to affect this value from an accounting standpoint. With a cash discount, the buyer receives a choice and events subsequent to the original transaction dictate that additional entries may be needed. 6. Two methods of recording accounts receivable are: 1. Record receivables and sales gross. 2. Record receivables and sales net. 7-8 Copyright 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Kieso, Intermediate Accounting, 13/e, Solutions Manual (For Instructor Use Only)

9 Questions Chapter 7 (Continued) The net method is desirable from a theoretical standpoint because it values the receivable at its net realizable value. In addition, recording the sales at net provides a better assessment of the revenue that was earned from the sale of the product. If the purchasing company fails to take the discount, then the company should reflect this amount as income. The gross method for receivables and sales is used in practice normally because it is expedient and its use does not generally have any significant effect on the presentation of the financial statements. 7. The basic problems that relate to the valuation of receivables are (1) the determination of the face value of the receivable, (2) the probability of future collection of the receivable, and (3) the length of time the receivable will be outstanding. The determination of the face value of the receivable is a function of the trade discount, cash discount, and certain allowance accounts such as the Allowance for Sales Returns and Allowances. 8. The theoretical superiority of the allowance method over the direct write-off method of accounting for bad debts is two-fold. First, since revenue is considered to be recognized at the point of sale on the assumption that the resulting receivables are valid liquid assets merely awaiting collection, periodic income will be overstated to the extent of any receivables that eventually become uncollectible. The proper matching of revenue and expense requires that gross sales in the income statement be partially offset by a charge to bad debt expense that is based on an estimate of the receivables arising from gross sales that will not be converted into cash. Second, accounts receivable on the balance sheet should be stated at their estimated net realizable value. The allowance method accomplishes this by deducting from gross receivables the allowance for doubtful accounts. The latter is derived from the charges for bad debt expense on the income statement. 9. The percentage-of-sales method. Under this method Bad Debt Expense is debited and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is credited with a percentage of the current year s credit or total sales. The rate is determined by reference to the relationship between prior years credit or total sales and actual bad debts arising therefrom. Consideration should also be given to changes in credit policy and current economic conditions. Although the rate should theoretically be based on and applied to credit sales, the use of total sales is acceptable if the ratio of credit sales to total sales does not vary significantly from year to year. The percentage-of-sales method of providing for estimated uncollectible receivables is intended to charge bad debt expense to the period in which the corresponding sales are recorded and is, therefore, designed for the preparation of a fair income statement. Due to annually insignificant but cumulatively significant errors in the experience rate which may result in either an excessive or inadequate balance in the allowance account, however, this method may not accurately report accounts receivable in the balance sheet at their estimated net realizable value. This can be prevented by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, adjusting the balance in the allowance account. The materiality of any such adjustment would govern its treatment for reporting purposes. The necessity of such adjustments of the allowance account indicates that bad debt expenses have not been accurately matched against related sales. Further, even when the experience rate does not result in an excessive or inadequate balance in the allowance account, this method tends to have a smoothing effect on reported periodic income due to year-to-year differences between the amounts of bad debt write-offs and estimated bad debts.

10 Questions Chapter 7 (Continued) The aging method. With this method each year s debit to the expense account and credit to the allowance account are determined by an evaluation of the collectibility of open accounts receivable at the close of the year. An analysis of the accounts according to their due dates is the usual procedure. For each of the age categories established in the analysis, average percentage rates may be developed on the basis of past experience and applied to the accounts in the respective age categories. This method may also utilize individual analysis for some accounts, especially those that are considerably past due, in arriving at estimated uncollectible receivables. On the basis of the foregoing analysis the balance in the valuation account is then adjusted to the amount estimated to be uncollectible. This method of providing for uncollectible accounts is quite accurate for purposes of reporting accounts receivable at their estimated net realizable value in the balance sheet. From the standpoint of the income statement, however, the aging method may not match accurately bad debt expenses with the sales which caused them because the charge to bad debt expense is not based on sales. The accuracy of both the charge to bad debt expense and the reported value of receivables depends on the current estimate of uncollectible accounts. The accuracy of the expense charge, however, is additionally dependent upon the timing of actual write-offs. 10. A major part of accounting is the measurement of financial data. Changes in values should be recognized as soon as they are measurable in objective terms in order for accounting to provide useful information on a periodic basis. The very existence of accounts receivable is based on the decision that a credit sale is an objective indication that revenue should be recognized. The alternative is to wait until the debt is paid in cash. If revenue is to be recognized and an asset recorded at the time of a credit sale, the need for fairness in the statements requires that both expenses and the asset be adjusted for the estimated amounts of the asset that experience indicates will not be collected. The argument may be persuasive that the evidence supporting write-offs permits a more accurate decision than that which supports the allowance method. The latter method, however, is objective in the sense in which accountants use the term and is justified by the need for fair presentation of receivables and income. The direct write-off method is not wholly objective; it requires the use of judgment in determining when an account has become uncollectible. 11. Because estimation of the allowance requires judgment, management could either over-estimate or under-estimate the amount of uncollectible accounts depending on whether a higher or lower earnings number is desired. For example, Sun Trust bank (referred to in the chapter) was having a very profitable year. By over-estimating the amount of bad debts, Sun Trust could record a higher allowance and expense, thereby reducing income in the current year. In a subsequent year, when earnings are low, they could under-estimate the allowance, record less expense and get a boost to earnings. 12. The receivable due from Kishwaukee Company should be written off to an appropriately named loss account and reported in the income statement as part of income from operations. Note that the profession specifically excludes write-offs of receivables from being extraordinary. In this case, classification as an unusual item would seem appropriate. The loss may properly be reduced by the portion of the allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of the preceding year that was allocable to the Kishwaukee Company account. Estimates for doubtful accounts are based on a firm s prior bad debt experience with due consideration given to changes in credit policy and forecasted general or industry business conditions Copyright 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Kieso, Intermediate Accounting, 13/e, Solutions Manual (For Instructor Use Only)

11 Questions Chapter 7 (Continued) The purpose of the allowance method is to anticipate only that amount of bad debt expense which can be reasonably forecasted in the normal course of events; it is not intended to anticipate bad debt losses which are abnormal and nonrecurring in nature. 13. If the direct write-off method is used, the only alternative is to debit Cash and credit a revenue account entitled Uncollectible Amounts Recovered. If the allowance method is used, then the accountant may debit Accounts Receivable and credit the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. An entry is then made to credit the customer s account and debit Cash upon receipt of the remittance. 14. The journal entry on John Singer s books would be: Notes Receivable ,000,000 Discount on Notes Receivable ,000 Sales Revenue ,000* *Assumes that seller is a dealer in this property. If not, the property might be credited, and a loss on sale of $70,000 would be recognized. 15. Imputed interest is the interest ascribed or attributed to a situation or circumstance which is void of a stated or otherwise appropriate interest factor. Imputed interest is the result of a process of interest rate estimation called imputation. An interest rate is imputed for notes receivable when (1) no interest rate is stated for the transaction, or (2) the stated interest rate is unreasonable, or (3) the stated face amount of the note is materially different from the current cash price for the same or similar items or from the current market value of the debt instrument. In imputing an appropriate interest rate, consideration should be given to the prevailing interest rates for similar instruments of issuers with similar credit ratings, the collateral, and restrictive covenants. 16. A company might sell receivables because money is tight and access to normal credit is not available or prohibitively expensive. Also, a company may have to sell its receivables, instead of borrowing, to avoid violating existing lending arrangements. In addition, billing and collection of receivables are often time-consuming and costly. 17. A financial components approach is used when receivables are sold but there is continuing involvement by the seller in the receivable. Examples of continuing involvement are recourse provisions or continuing rights to service the receivable. A transfer of receivables should be recorded as a sale when the following three conditions are met: (a) The transferred asset has been isolated from the transferor (put beyond reach of the transferor and its creditors). (b) The transferees have obtained the right to pledge or exchange either the transferred assets or beneficial interests in the transferred assets. (c) The transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase or redeem them before their maturity. 18. Recourse is a guarantee from Hale that if any of the sold receivables are uncollectible, Hale will pay the factor for the amount of the uncollectible account. This recourse obligation represents continuing involvement by Hale after the sale. Under the financial components model, the estimated fair value of the recourse obligation will be reported as a liability on Hale s balance sheet. Copyright 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

12 Questions Chapter 7 (Continued) 19. Several acceptable solutions are possible depending upon assumptions made as to whether certain items are collectible within the operating cycle or not. The following illustrates one possibility: Current Assets Accounts receivable Trade (of which accounts in the amount of $75,000 have been assigned as security for loans payable) ($523,000 + $75,000) $598,000 Federal income tax refund receivable 15,500 Advance payments on purchases 61,000 Investments Advance to subsidiary 45,500 Other Assets Travel advance to employee 22,000 Notes receivable past due plus accrued interest 27, The accounts receivable turnover ratio is computed by dividing net sales by average net receivables outstanding during the year. This ratio is used to assess the liquidity of the receivables. It measures the number of times, on average, receivables are collected during the period. It provides some indication of the quality of the receivables and how successful the company is in collecting its outstanding receivables. 21. Because the restricted cash can not be used by Hawthorn to meet current obligations, it should not be reported as a current asset it should be reported in investments or other assets. Thus, although this item has cash in its label, it should not be reflected in liquidity measures, such as the current or acid-test ratios. *22. (1) The general checking account is the principal bank account of most companies and frequently the only bank account of small companies. Most if not all transactions are cycled through the general checking account, either directly or on an imprest basis. (2) Imprest bank accounts are used to disburse cash (checks) for a specific purpose, such as dividends, payroll, commissions, or travel expenses. Money is deposited in the imprest fund from the general fund in an amount necessary to cover a specific group of disbursements. (3) Lockbox accounts are local post office boxes to which a multi-location company instructs its customers to mail remittances. A local bank is authorized to empty the box daily and credit the company s accounts for collections Copyright 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
